Make a web front end, and present them with only the queries you want
them to have, via a dropdown list and a set of fields for which you
sanitize the input.
Alternatively, build a GUI app that does the same thing, but if your
users are sophisticated and/or malicious you'll also have to build the
GUI with some sort of application authentication and encryption.
